G'day,

All the 777's are a bit of bad news BUT, what about the poor guy who orders
a 4D/20, with no installation (not that it would help much), does not know
UNIX at all, is coming from the MS-DOS world. Unpacks the machine, sets it
up and can't figure out what to do to make it work because he doesn't
know enough about the permissions? I have actually seen this happen. Not
everyone how buys an Iris is a UNIX guru.

There's at least 2 sides to every story!

Dave
